Destination: Bagda Sea Beach | Dublagadi, Balasore, Odisha
Tucked away in the quiet serenity of Dublagadi, within the Balasore district of Odisha, lies a coastal paradise that many still call a secret – Bagda Sea Beach. Fringed by dense casuarina forests, kissed by the breeze of the Bay of Bengal, and blessed with tranquil silence, this offbeat destination offered the perfect escape for the adventure-hungry hearts of Chetak Motorcycle Club (CMC).
🛣️ The Coastal Call – Our Journey Begins
Long-distance rides aren’t just about the miles — they are about the stories that unfold with every sunrise, every fuel stop, and every bend in the road. As engines fired at dawn, our pack of passionate riders hit the highway with excitement, discipline, and a deep respect for the journey ahead.
Riding across the state borders from West Bengal into Odisha, the route offered a vibrant mix of scenic paddy fields, breezy highways, roadside dhabas, and glimpses of rural life that seemed untouched by time.
🌴 Into the Wild Beauty of Dublagadi
As we neared our destination, the sea breeze whispered our welcome. Tall casuarina trees stood like guardians of the shore, and the final approach through the forest trail gave us goosebumps. A ride that began on tarmac ended in soft sands and salty air — a transition that only Bagda can offer.
Bagda Beach, unlike its crowded counterparts, is peaceful, raw, and deeply spiritual. The view of the golden sun dancing on waves, the feeling of the cool wind through your riding jacket, and the silence broken only by the ocean — this was nature's grand embrace.
🏕️ Bonding by the Bay
Riders dismounted, boots met sand, and helmets were set aside as we stood in awe before the infinite horizon. Some took to the waves, others captured moments through lenses, and a few simply sat — letting the sea talk to their soul.
The camaraderie grew stronger over shared snacks, laughter, and the thrill of reaching a place so remote yet so beautiful. A few of us even ventured deeper into the Dublagadi Forest, known for its eco-camping sites and migratory bird sightings.
📸 Frames from a Dream
No ride is complete without memories, and Bagda offered them in plenty — silhouetted bike shots at sunset, drone views of the shoreline, and group snaps etched forever in our gallery and hearts.
☕ Refreshment, Reflection, and Return
Before we bid farewell, we shared a humble yet fulfilling coastal meal at a local eatery. Conversations turned emotional as many riders reflected on how this ride wasn’t just a journey, but therapy — a much-needed detox from urban life.
We thanked the local villagers for their hospitality, pledged to keep the place clean and respected, and took one last long look at the ocean before we kicked up the stands for the return ride.
